What a fantastic weekend. Urgh, I have no idea how to start this off. I haven't rambled on for a long time on this thang so it's going to be bumpy. My brain is a little dusty...
So, friday got the verbal ok that grandma was doing better. She was breathing on her own and was asking for food when she woke up so that's a good thing. Kate came over at noon and we hit the fucking road. Once again, it was hot as fuck out so she drove being that I have no AC. To the beach. Just for the day. I don't know why I love it there so much now when I despised it back in the day. It's like as soon as you drive over that bridge, you are greeted with tackiness and kitch that is the beach. No pretentiousness, no trendiness, just beach life. Simple, fun. Major eye candy to look at. Relaxation.
Kate and I found a spot to throw our gear and it was off to walk on the beach. Growing more daring, we went deeper into the water as I then proceeded to get my ass handed to me by the wave and lost my gawt-damn sunglasses. Oh well, they were last years model anyways. I realised I am grossly out of shape and need to work on that post haste. Got my fries from thrashers, walked until sunset and got back on the road. Came back to find out that dinner at the chinese place was too late but lo and behold, stoner dave had ordered a small feast and had leftovers next door. Score! Filling our bellies with breaded animal, we politely ran next door to shower off the grime and salt that ocean city gave us.
Sleep.
Saturday arrived ever hotter than friday had so a plan had to be made. Fuck this shit, let's go to the pool. I had heard of this place nearby that was a virginia-run water park and had all these crazy slides and what not so we drove as fast as possible to the destination. We got there to find out it was designed for pre-school kids and families but laughed it off and made the best of it. Imagine a few acres of water park goodness i.e. mini slides, animals with water spooging from their mouths and so on. Now, surrounding the park is another ring-shaped pool where people could swim in on rafts that was powered by jets so the current would just take you around and around all day long. That's where we chilled for 5 straight hours.
The rated PG highlight of the day was finding a double raft-tube for kate to sit in while I pushed it along. The annoying troublemaker in me came out and I made a game of how many kids I could barge into with the raft and finally succeeded in tipping a 12 year old over right in front of a life guard. Yes, I'm 28 and I know this. Piss off =)
We finally decided to leave and meandered home to shower (*giggles) and cooked some dead animal on the grill.
Then there was the bit where I got food poisoning with some cheese that had expired and was sick all day on sunday but I won't let that get me down.
Oh and I have an idea. And it's going to be big. And I want to go to the beach again. Soon.
